Fireworm
Fireworms are among the smallest dragons, ranging about a foot in length. they cannot breathe fire, but can superheat their skin. they work in groups, making them very dangerous.
this is a fireworm Queen. the queens average up to 20 feet in length, and are the center of a fireworm community.
Lindorm

Native to Cheval, Guivres are amphibious dragons with a potent poison. however, they are also very modest.
Beithir
the only Orm with any non-poisonous attack, beithirs can shoot lightning and manipulate electricity. they average about 50 feet long.
Ouroboros
The ouroboros is a snake-like dragon with a thick body that was only discovered to be sapient quite recently. The ouroboros' spine is protected with large, over-lapping plates of bony armor (refered to as osteoderms). Unlike normal snakes whose bodies are thickest at the middle and become thinner at both ends, the ouroboros has roughly the same thickness throughout almost its entire body, though the tip of their tail becomes very thin and flexible. The ouroboros has a very unique mode of transportation, as they will wrap the tip of their tail around their neck and form a rigid circle with their body (roughly the same size diameter as carrige wheel), rolling along in a manner similar to a hoop. No one is entirely certain how the ouroboros is able to control the direction and speed of its movement, or even why this creature isn't dizzy all the time from moving in this manner. However, they are able to reach incredible speeds with this manner of locomotion, allowing them to be one of the fastest living things to travel across the ground (only locomotive trains and the lightning-enhanced Pronghorn couriers are able to outrun these creatures).
These dragons are also well-renowned for their healing venom, which is used to make arthritis medication, healing potions, and happens to be one of the few existing substances that can neutralize Basilisk Venom. According to legend, the healing properties of ouroboros venom were first discovered in the early days of Equestria by an Earth Pony named Asclepius. Today, many hospitals keep one or more live Ouroborii on hoof for the producing of some of the best medicines not made by Zebras, as this dragon will gladly donate a vial of its miraculous venom in exchange for an offering of food.
SEA SERPENT
most likely descended from Orms, Sea Serpents, as their name implies, make their homes in the ocean and other large bodies of water. Unlike their dragon cousins however, most sea serpents are quite friendly, and are always willing to help if they're needed. The only downside is some tend to be a bit vain about their manes, and one can often find a sea serpent gazing at their reflections in the water.
Sea serpents follow the rule of an "Empraking", who resides in the waters around the country of Eponia.
His Royal Majestic Highness, the Fashionable Empraking Julius Mercury, is the humble and modest Empraking of all sea serpents in Eponia. He is the the Guru of Groovy, the Swami of Style, the King of Khaki- Wait, no. Scratch that out of his title please. His Highness refuses to be associated with such a thing.
